Perhaps it's a shy and introverted first - year who has some sort of hidden power. Harry spots this potential in the student and adopts them. The first - year could be from a pure - blood family that has fallen on hard times. His or her name could be Oliver, and Harry sees in Oliver a chance to change the negative image some pure - bloods have.
I really like the fanfic 'A First Year's Tale'. It delves into the life of a first - year student who discovers a hidden mystery in Hogwarts. The author does a wonderful job of capturing the essence of the Harry Potter world and making it feel new and exciting for the first - year protagonist. There are lots of interesting interactions with the original characters too.
One great 'Harry Potter First Year' fanfiction could be 'The First Year Adventures of Harry and Hermione'. It focuses on their friendship during that first year at Hogwarts, with them solving little mysteries around the castle that the books didn't cover. Another is 'A First Year's Perspective', which tells the story from the point of view of a new student who is not in Gryffindor but witnesses all the main events. There's also 'Harry Potter's First Year: The Untold Tales' which delves deeper into Harry's feelings and experiences during his first year, including his relationship with Ron and how he coped with the new magical world.
Some first year Harry Potter fanfiction worth checking out include 'First Year Encounters'. This one has interesting interactions between the main characters and some new, original characters. 'The First Year's Diary' is another good one, where a student writes in a diary about all the strange and exciting things that happen during the first year. Also, 'First Year Potions Mishaps' is a fun read as it focuses on the comical and sometimes dangerous potions incidents that first - years get into.
One interesting 'Harry Potter first year fanfiction' is 'The Lost Heir of Slytherin'. It adds a new twist to Harry's first year by introducing a mystery about his possible connection to Salazar Slytherin. Another one could be 'A Magical First Year' which focuses on Harry making unusual friendships outside of Gryffindor. There's also 'First Year Adventures' that details Harry's experiences in a more humorous way, like his encounters with the school ghosts.
You can find 'Harry Potter First Year' fanfictions on some well - known fanfiction websites like Fanfiction.net. It has a huge collection of fan - created stories.

Well, it could be about Harry Potter having reasons to flee Britain during his first year at Hogwarts. Maybe he discovers some dark secret or faces a threat that makes him feel he has to leave. It might involve new magical elements not in the original books.
Maybe Harry Potter sees a first - year student who is an orphan or in a difficult situation. He decides to take the student under his wing. He could teach the first - year all about Hogwarts, from the secret passages to how to deal with bullies like Draco. They might also have adventures together, exploring the Forbidden Forest or solving mysteries within the castle.
